PRESIDENT TRUMP has made changes to his travel
ban on Sunday by adding Venezuela, Chad and
North Korea to the list and removing Sudan.
The changes will also increase vetting and
the process of entry to the United States. After
the announcement of the new travel ban, Trump
tweeted:
cannot safely vet”.
amount “remain deficient” and/or have a
significant terrorist presence.
The lists of countries
banned are North Korea,
Syria, Chad, Yemen, Libya,
Somalia, Iran and Venezuela.
Out of these eight-targeted
countries, six are Muslim. Syria,
Iran, Libya, Yemen and Somalia
were on the fi rst travel 􀁅􄕡an􀀑􁅆
For North Korea and Syria, there is no
entry for immigrants or non-immigrants.
For Chad, Yemen and Libya the entry of
immigrants and non-immigrants on business
and tourist visas are suspended.
For Somalia, only non-immigrants travel-ing
to the U.S. will be allowed entry, along with
extra screenings and vetting. For Iran, only stu-dents
will be allowed entry, but will need extra
screening and vetting.
For Venezuela, the least amount of restric-tions,
entry of Venezuelan government
officials and immediate family members
on business and tour-ist
visas will be
suspended.
David Leitch, Political Science Chair at CSUN,
said he hopes this
new travel ban doesn’t affect
international studies and makes little change
on campus.
“In larger context of what he said
during his campaign, it is less about
security,” Leitch said. “It is about iden-tify
countries that are unpopular and
make them the scapegoat.”
According to CNN, the new
restrictions are indefinite and
“condition based not time based,”
whereas the previous travel ban
limited travel for 90 days.
This update has some major
changes, but is still relatively the
same. Anthony Romero, execu-tive
director of ACLU stated that
no matter the names Trump adds
to the list, this is still targeting
Muslims. According to Romero,
even though trump added North
Korea and some from Venezuela, it
doesn’t get rid of the real fact that
the order is still a Muslim ban.
According to the Washington
Post, the ban will be set on place
action until Oct. 18 and if quali-fi
ed􀀏􀼠 applications for visas will 􀁅􄕥e
accepted until that date. The travel
ban will not affect anyone who has
a U.S. visa.
ON FRIDAY, Education Sec-retary
Betsy DeVos and
the Department of Educa-tion’s
Offi ce for 􀀦􂙩ivil 􀀵􃕩ights
announced its withdrawal of
the guidelines that play a key
role in helping colleges and
universities address sexual
violence.
Title IX is the sexual
harassment education
amendment, addressing
sexual misconduct and gen-der-
based discrimination.
After this announcement
students may no longer
have protection from
discrimination.
DeVos wants to do away
with the Obama era agree-ment
for Title IX on rights
for students. The guidelines
which were from OCR’s 2011
Dear Colleague Letter on
Sexual Violence and the 2014
Questions and Answers on
Title IX and Sexual Violence,
according to InsideHigher
Ed.
But for CSUN students
President Dianne Harrison
is planning to fi ght the order
and she made a statement
addressing it.
“I want to clearly com-municate
to our campus
community that we will not
waver in our commitment to
Title IX and its protections,”
Harrison said.
“CSUN does not stand
for sexual misconduct and
California’s law and the CSU
system has policies (Execu-tive
Orders 1095, 1096 and
1097),” according to Presi-dent
Harrison’s letter.
Dr. Rebecca Clark Mane,
Communication Studies
Department lecturer, said,
“The reason that men and
women fought to implement
Title IX in the 1960s and ‘70s
was because women were
not considered as important
or valuable students as their
straight male counterparts.
It was assumed they were
merely at the university to
achieve their MRS degree
(‘marry a college man’)
rather than a BA, MA, or
beyond.”
Since 1972, Title IX and
certain other federal and
state laws stopped discrim-ination
based off of gender
or sexual orientation when it
comes to university employ-ment
and educational
activities on and off campus.
Even the Chancellor of CSU
made a statement with the
move that DeVos has made
regarding the Title IX ruling.
“I assure you CSU’s exist-ing
policies will continue to
protect our students and
employees, and provide a fair
process to all. Our compre-hensive
policies comply with
federal and state laws and
regulations -- and remain
in full force and effect,” said
Timothy White, Chancellor
of CSU.
Two professors on campus
provided their thoughts on
the matter for DeVos’s ruling
to withdraw from Obama era
agreements.
“For Betsy DeVos to disre-gard
this massive collective
effort is not to create policy
􀁅􄕡ased on fact or effi cacy􀀏􀼠 􀁅􄕵ut
rather sends a disheartening
and disconfi rming message
to students,” said Dr. Mane.
According to the Rape,
Abuse & Incest National
Network (RAINN), 11.2% of
all graduate and undergrad-uate
students experience
rape or sexual assault. Two
years ago there were 26
sexual assaults reported to
the CSUN Police Depart-ment.
CSUN has a Title IX
Offi ce where trained inves􀀐􁁴
tigators and students are
becoming aware of where
to report and what sexual
assault is.
After hearing about
DeVos’s stand on Title IX
and the way it may affect
students, Communica-tions
major Bader Alotaibi
said, “We have to stand up
together and tell people in
power that they can’t do
that, it is not right. Whether
it is male, female, mascu-line,
feminine, we all have
to stand together.”
“Withdrawing the 2011
guidelines also weakens the
enforcement of Title IX, a
law intended to protect all
people from sex and gender
discrimination,” said Xochitl
Alvizo, assistant professor of
Religious Studies.
President Harrison’s
letter encouraged students
to use the resources that are
available on campus. From
the University Counseling
Services to on-campus sup-port
groups for women, men,
deaf/hard of hearing, other
disabilities, LGBTQI and
other cultures.
Television Produc-tion
major Mariana Garcia
thinks this is a serious issue
because she knows victims,
and it’s hard for them to
speak about their experi-ences.
“I think [on-campus
resources] are beneficial
because victims still have
memories that they have to
carry.”
